Light a Candle
This is about a tradition I started after
a beloved grandparent died, but became so much more. I believe that
true love is eternal. All those who have ever truly loved you still do,
no matter where you are, no matter where they are. Don't we learn this
as children when parents send us off to school, and when we return, our
parents are there, still loving us as much as they did before we went.
And so when my grandmother died, I lit a candle for her, a flame
symbolizing that eternal love coming from wherever she was. As years
went by I continued to light the candle, and think of all those who have
loved me and realized one day that whatever I'm suffering through,
they'd want me to be happy, and to live the best life each day that I
possibly can. And so lighting the candle became a promise to them, to
honor their love for me by doing at least one thing each day to lift my
spirits, because they would do that for me if they could, as well as a
promise to live the best life I can each day

- In my opinion, the sun, the sea, and the sky are my best friends in my hard moments in my life. People are very busy to listen to your problems, and most of the time they do not pay attention, so it's the perfect chance to come close to Mother Nature, to see the birds that have almost nothing, but everything in their lives. And birds always fly and open their wings wider and wider till the sky feels small compared to them. God bless.
